Relena just couldn't take it anymore, she just couldn't take
another day without Heero with her and she has had it. If she cannot
be with him, not able to love him, then nobody would see her. Tired of
waiting for him to return to her, Relena packed everything she had and
ran from her house in the middle of the night. She was barely away from
the concrete walls of the estate when something struck her. It wasn't
lightning or a bullet of a gun, but it was something and all that
Relena could do was scream as blue light enveloped her. Her scream died
and soon she was in a place that was both familiar to her and
unfamiliar before she collapsed into unconsciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inside the large and lonely mansion, a scientist in a lab coat
was working on his latest civilian work, a transporter which he hoped
would revolutionize transportation as everyone known it. His hypothesis,
a person who enters the devise would be transported to another devise
that was linked together. The only problem was that he couldn't get the
darn think to work. Sure it made a pretty light show, but that's it.
The molecules of his test subject, an orange, didn't brake up and
transferred into the energy stream, it didn't turn into energy, nothing.
After tinkering with it within his spare time, he finally found the
problem. He needed a devise that would counter Heisenberg's
"Uncertainty Principle", a Heisenberg Compasitor if you will. Acording
to Heisenberg's principle, it is possible to know the motion or the
position of a subatomic particle, but not both. That was the reasoning
for the failure of the subject to do anything, the devise couldn't
track the subatomic particles for they were too erratic, plus the safety
was on. He turned the safety off and tried it one more time and what he
ended up on the other end was a pool of orange juice with no pulp.
"At least I got a decent glass of OJ." He smirked and cleaned
the platform. The scientist tried filtering with different gem stones
and crystals and still it had not worked until he received a suitcase
filled with unknown crystalline stones from the Mars mission. NASA
wanted to know if these unknown stones would be used as focusing lenses
for communication lasers and possibly a new source of energy since they
reported that it had started to glow under its own influence and radiation
wasn't found within them. The military wants to know if this could be made
into a bomb. "Give them an ultimate weapon and they want another one."
He spat as if it was bad liquor and then he had an idea. Experiment the
stones with the transporter. It was a long shot, but if he would succeed,
he would get the Nobel Prize for this and maybe even help with the
construction of those God dammed orbital colonies at Lagrange Point One.
Conventional rockets were so outdated and even with his anti-gravity
generator, it would still need conventional thrust to reach the currently
constructing colonies. "Might as well get that 'New Age of Mankind' here
already." He had read reports that say that it would take at least a
decade before they would finish with one of the colonies.
He was thankful that they threw out the spherical colony model
for many reasons. For one it was not practical for only the equator of
the colony would have the earth like artificial gravity. Though it was
helpful in construction, it wasn't for everyday living and the generations
to come would be taller and physically weaker than those of the wheel and
cylinder colonies. The twenty-first century was a century of technological
revolutions. It was the year 2045 AD and they were finally building
colonies for the over populated Earth and the threat to pollution to the
environment would be to a minimum since space had no air to pollute in
factories and man would find many products of technology made in space.
He just wished that the new weapons of war, the Mobile Suits, weren't also
a product of the new century. They have created the science of Minosoki
particles and soon he created Mobile Suits. As if that wasn't enough, the
United States Military wants him to develop deadlier Mobile Suits in case
Saddam or some other non aligned power wants to try and rule the world.
He hated war ever since he was a child, but he had to help the military
for his research didn't give him money before. He was a gifted child and
he graduated college when he was only twelve and already he's an expert
in all areas of science. He even created artificial wombs in case the
environment of orbital colonies proven unsafe for women to bare children.
He spent his life improving the world and he was paid little or none until
he finally sighed a contract with the US Military, no the UN military.
He was busy working at the base on the Gundam Series of Mobile
Suits that would be armed with Beam Weapons. The only thing he liked about
the beam weapons was the Beam Saber, a weapon that signified the elegant
and civilized methods of modern combat and at the same time the brutality
and savagery of war. Even though he was a gifted child, he was raised in
the ways of the ancient samurai and ninja clans. Always the Little Warrior
his mother would tell him. Although he hated being referred to as Little
Warrior, there was noting that he could have done to change that. Besides
he wanted to make her happy, he wanted to make everyone happy and that was
the reason he became a scientist. He wanted to make a better world for
people to live in. The Mobile Suits were the only thing that wasn't intended
for world peace. He always wanted to make the world better so that everyone
would be happy and his transporter would revolutionize everything and the
normal moodiness of travelers would be a thing of the past. He then used
the unknown stones into the machine and then there was a flash of blue light
and then nothing happened. He looked out the window to look at the rain and
hear his rhythmic taps. The rain always soothed him from stress of working
long hours. Then he saw a girl on the sidewalk, lying on her face.
"What the bloody devil?" He ran outside and checked the girl's pulse
and breathing, she was fine. Then the face of the girl struck his memory for
it was vaguely familiar, almost uncanny familiar. He took the girl and her
suit case into the mansion and wrapped her in warm blankets and placed a warm
cloth on her head and set her by the fire. It was several moments before the
girl woke up and she was looking around in a frenzy with fear in her eyes,
but stopped when she looked at the young scientist. Her Aquarian blue eyes
looked dumbfounded at Prussian Blue.
"Who are you?" The girl wasn't sure if what she was seeing was true.
"Hello, my name is Professor Heero Yuy. And who might you be?" The
young scientist said.
"Relena Peacecraft." The scientist seemed shocked at her name, but
remained cooled. Relena couldn't believe that some person that looked like
her love and had the same name was a professor, a scientist.
"You must be cold lying out in the rain like that. May I ask you why
you were like that?" His voice was dignified, and yet harden from some pain.
"I really do not know. I was running when I was caught by some blue
light and then I collapsed." The scientist was shocked even more, and yet he
remained his cooled face.
"Come now. It's very late at night and you may need some sleep after
what ever you've experienced." Heero Yuy dried her off mostly and escorted
her to a guest room with her suitcase. Relena then took a hot shower to warm
up her freezing body. She opened her suitcase and put on a night gown and fell
onto her bed, sleep claimed her before she even reached the pillow. Meanwhile
the scientist, Heero Yuy, walked up to his machine and pulled out the stone
and looked at it. "I don't know what you did, but I hope it was what I indeed
you to do." He asked the stone, realizing that he would not get an answer.
He then began his studies of the stone and jotted notes for his first report
on the stone. It was early in the afternoon before Relena woke up and she
found a note on her night stand that read:
Dear Relena,
I may not be in the mansion when you wake up. I had to go to the base
to work on a project for the United States Aerospace Force. I'll return home at
7:30 or later tonight. Please feel free to make yourself at home.
Professor Heero Yuy.
P.S. If you plan to look at the laboratory, please don't touch anything. I'm
really too busy to clean any messes up.
She didn't know what was going on, but she would ask questions when Heero
gets home. Right now her stomach begs her for food. She went downstairs and she
finds several items that would be found on a home shopping network that helped her
make breakfast, although she know that she missed breakfast. She read side notes
left by Professor Yuy that helped her use the cooking utensils as if he knows that
she would not know what to do. After breakfast, she went to her room and pulled out
a picture of both Heero and Relena dancing at the school dance six years ago, though
it felt like forever in her standpoint. She shed a tear and wiped it off of the
glass of the frame. It was 7:45 and Professor Yuy returned.
"Hello there, hope you had a good sleep." She nodded and he gestured her to
sit down. "So where did you live?"
"I live at the Peacecraft Estate in the Cinq Kingdom."
"Cinq Kingdom? I never heard of a nation like that before?" Then an ideal
popped into his head. "What year do you think it is?"
"AC 201."
"And what dose AC mean?"
"After Colony, why?"
"Just trying to piece things together. Have you ever heard of a Mobile Suit?"
This shocked Relena to the core. She wasn't sure what he was talking about but she
answered with a nod.
"They were first created in AC 175 with the Unified Earth Sphere Alliance
Military and there were advanced mobile suits called Gundams in AC 195." It was Professor
Yuy's turn to be shocked. "What is it?"
"Well I can conclude that you are not from the future, but merely from a parallel
universe I believe."
"What do you mean?" Relena asked.
"I was working on a transporter for spare time as to revolutionize transportation
and even help with the construction of the new orbital colonies. They gave me some unknown
crystalline stones for me to work on and I tried it out on my devise and it seems as if you
were pulled into my universe. In this universe, the year is 2045 AD."
"May I ask you something?"
"You may."
"Why did you ask me about Mobile Suits."
"Well I wanted to know if you were from the future or not and it proved you're not.
I was the one who created the technology of Mobile Suits and currently working on the Gundam
Series of Mobile Suits."
"Really?" Relena asked girlishly.
"Yes." They talked for several minutes about their universes. Some were even shocking
then others. "Your saying that I was a soldier in that universe and piloting a Gundam?" Relena
nodded. "And this latest Gundam, this Wing Zero, was the ancestor of all the Gundams?"
"That's what my Heero told me."
"May I ask you a personal question?"
"Depends upon the question Professor Yuy."
"You seem to talk much of my alternant self. May I ask you what is your relation to
him?" Relena froze and was unable to answer for some time before she spoke.
"He was a close friend of mine." 'And just that much I'm afraid.' She added mentally.
Professor Yuy noticed this moment of silent and the sound of her voice and he assumed that
there was more to this then mere friendship.
"Is that all?" Relena blushed.
"Well I sort of have a crush on him."
"I guess that's your reasoning." Professor Yuy stood up. "I need to work on my
transporter. If you would excuse me." He was about to walk away when Relena stood up.
"May I ask you a personal question?" Professor Yuy simply replied.
"Like you said earlier 'Depends upon the question.'"
"Do you know a girl with the same name?" It was Professor Yuy turn to be shocked
and silent for several moment.
"I did, 'Once upon a time' as the saying goes. There was a girl I knew who's name
was Relena Marquise. I really don't want to talk about it at the moment." Relena then spies
a framed portrait of a younger version of Professor Yuy and a girl with the same face and
hairstyle as her, but had platinum blond hair instead of honey colored hair. Relena walked
up and looked at it.
"This is her isn't it." Relena turned back and Professor Yuy nodded. Then Professor
Yuy showed her his lab filled with innovations and inventions and finally he brought her to
the transporter and the crystalline stones from Mars. "They look pretty. Almost like gemstones."
"It's a bit strange isn't it? Something so beautiful is found on planet that is desolate
of life that cold never appreciate it, or once appreciated it. NASA and the United States
Military wanted to know what they could do with it since it was very plentiful of the objects."
"Is there a possibility that I could return to my universe?"
"I've been studying these stones for some time while you slept and I've been able to not
only work out the transporter based upon their molecular formation, but I was also able to control
the dimensional gate that it produces. Though I'm still not sure if it is able to transport yet
any matter, let alone a Homo sapian."
"I see."
"But there is hope, even though the last gate was uncontrollable, it was able to transport
you here. So the possibility still exists. Though I could use some help." And it continued for
several weeks. Every night Professor Yuy returns from the base on the development of the Gundam
Series of Mobile Suit and they would ask each other questions about their universes and then they
would try to understand the phenomenon of dimensional travel. All they were able to figure is that
the link between the two universes is already set and Professor Yuy didn't want to test the
hypothesis that it was stable and wouldn't break. Then one day Professor Yuy then took Relena to
the base so she could see the Gundam Series Mobile Suits.
"Excuse me Professor Yuy, civilians aren't allowed in the development facility." A Military
Police Guard said.
"Don't worry she won't tell anyone. Her allegiance is in another dimension." Professor Yuy
and Relena walked passed the guard.
"Oh, okay, no worries there- Wait a minute?" The guard did a double take and then went to
the base office. Relena was surprised to see that the Gundam Series Prototype were so much similar
to the Gundams of her universe, especially Heero's Gundam. He introduced the original Mobile Suit
team who were also working on the Gundam Prototypes and showed her the plans of the Gundams. Then
the base's coronal wanted the presents of Professor Yuy and Relena Peacecraft in his office.
"So what you are telling me is that you have created a transporter that accidentally brought
her into this dimension."
"Yes sir, my original intentions were to aid in the construction of the orbital colonies by
reducing the time of bringing supplies and personnel to the construction site and I was experimenting
with the stones found on Mars."
"And were you able to perfect the transporter?"
"Yes, I just need to get the gate reopened, stabilized and safe for passage so that she could
return to her dimension." The coronal then sparked an idea.
"Do you have the plans and the notes to that machine?" Professor Yuy nodded. "Then would you
please submit your plans and notes to the development bureau and your initial prototype as soon as she
returns home"
"If it is for the betterment of the human species then yes." Professor Yuy and Relena returned
home and after three days, they have finally worked out the bugs and are ready to send in their subject,
an orange on a string. "Don't want to have you disintegrated or something." Professor Yuy then tosses
the fruit into the vortex. "Nothing happened, let's return the subject." He gently pulled on the string
but then he wasn't able to pull any further. "Something's wrong." He tugged and tugged with all of his
might on the string and yet it still did not budge and soon the string broke.
"What happened?" Relena asked.
"Line broke, simple as that. Now we'll never have the chance to see if it's safe." Then Professor
Yuy saw a hand appear with the orange in it's hand. "Oh thank you." Then he did a double take "What the?
How?"
"I guess that it is capable of safe passage." Relena stated. Several minutes later, Relena's
starting to pack but something was nagging at the back of her mind. Professor Yuy saw this and wasn't
sure what to think.
"Something's bothering you, isn't it?" Relena nodded.
"It's just that Relena Marquise-" Professor Yuy didn't need to hear the rest of the sentence.
He already knows the question.
"I told you, it's a difficult subject to talk about. But since you already want to know might
as well tell you. Relena Marquise was a very good friend to me and I sort of developed a crush for her
like you with your Heero Yuy. Then she found herself marrying to someone else and I didn't want to ruin
her wedding since I've researched that a women's first wedding is very special to her. Just that seeing
her happy makes me happy. Then I find out later that that man was terrible to her. Beating her, abusing
her, raping her for no good reason and he wasn't even drunk at the time." Relena's eyes widen as
Professor Yuy continued his story. "Then a year later I found out that she died. I never found out if
it was that bastard that killed her or she killed herself, but I knew that he was responsible for her
death. I went to the guys house and I brutally murdered him with my bare hands. I knew that it wouldn't
bring her back, but at least he deserved the kind of pain that he gave her." Relena then noticed that
tears began to build in his eyes. "If you don't mind, I would like to be alone at the moment." He left
her room, leaving a sadden Relena Peacecraft. Professor Yuy walked into his study and collapsed in his
chair and brought a framed picture of Relena Marquise. "Why did she have to deserve that fate? Why should
she die like that? Why did an angel die like that? Why?" He covered his face and he let his tears flow.
The next day, Relena's all packed to go, but hearing that story se became hesitant. Professor Yuy
was happier when she was around and she didn't want him to return to that depression when she returns to
her universe.
"Well time to go."
"Professor, what will you do when I'm gone?"
"Same as I've been always doing, researching new technologies." Professor Yuy pushes Relena into
the vortex and she returns to her universe. She finds herself in the living room of the Peacecraft mansion
and on Heero Yuy. She got up and saw that everyone was looking at her.
"We were so worried. Where were you?" Noin asked.
"I was just in another dimension, no big deal."
"What do you mean no big deal? Tell us all about it." Duo exclaimed and Relena then tells them about
the world of 2045 AD of that universe, the construction of the colonies, the development of the Gundam Series
and Professor Yuy. Late at night, she was on the balcony of her bedroom and she notices Heero behind her.
"You're thinking about him aren't you." Relena nodded.
"It's just that he would be lonely back there in his own dimension. With no one to keep him company
and the loss of his true love." She then turns to Heero. "It just seems terrible for him." Relena then sees
that Heero had something in his eye. Something that she was hopping for all along. "Heero, what is it?"
"I'm not sure how to bring this up Relena." Heero then finds the only resolution to this, he leaned
over and kissed her. It was intended to be a light kiss on the lips, but Relena deepened it and soon Heero
and Relena realize their feelings towards each other.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Professor Yuy pores himself some Oriental Tea into his cup in his living room.
"So how was-" He stopped mid sentence when he realized that Relena Peacecraft wasn't on the opposite
side of the table. He gave out a long sigh. "Guess I have to get used to this again." Then there was a knock
at his front door. "Odd, I'm not expecting anyone." Regardless he went to the door and opened it and what he
found was unbelievable. It was a women around his age with platinum blond hair and had Relena Peacecraft's
face. "Relena? I-I though that you were dead?"
"Is that anyway to greet a friend?"
"Um sorry, please come in." He took her bags and led her to the living room.

"I see that you moved up in the world."
"Not that much I'm afraid. So what brings you here Relena?"
"You actually."
"Pardon?"
"Marrying that bastard was the worst mistake of my life. Not only was I beaten and raped to death,
but I also broke a dear friend's heart." She then turned towards Professor Yuy. "I realized that you were
meant for me." She hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go. "I missed you Heero." Professor Yuy cradled
her chin.
"And I missed you to Relena." Tears build in both their eyes as they kissed. Erasing all of the
mistakes made in the past.

I know, I know, the story wasn't my best but it was nagging in my head and I just had to write it down.
